I think it's just old and leftover, and nobody has yet found a compelling need for more than 8 threads on Windows. It should be fine to increase this number, especially if you actually have a Windows box with more than 8 processors on it.<br>
<br>Feel free to change your build locally to increase that value. Perhaps somebody here on the VTK developers list is also contemplating more powerful Window machines these days... Anybody here want to bump this up and commit the change?<br>

Hello vtk-devs,<br>
<br>
sorry, but I would like to repeat my question.<br>
There is a define VTK_MAX_THREADS in "Common/vtkSystemIncludes.h". It<br>
is defined to 8 for Win32 threads, but for all other platforms to 32.<br>
What is the cause for this non-conformity?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Pavel<br>
